Some people can spend £100+ to watch a football match for a couple of hours for their entertainment.
Others spend that to drink themselves stupid each saturday night.

If my car costs me £1K+ per year or whatever (I don't dare add it up), it's just all part of the enormous fun and the big smile this car still continues to give me.

I can't go more than 48 hours without driving her
I had the car for many years and it still reads 47,000km on the odo. I've wrenched and mod the car far more than I've driven it. Actually most of those KMs were made by the wife and her friends. I have to shoot them all out for a ride once and a while just so the car doesn't sit in the garage doing nothing. I occasionally take it out on a good day but that's just to get me to the circuit here.... can't imagine myself going there with my DD (VW old gray Passat) and the wife forbids me to take the suv "100% HERs".

Got a Boxster 986 and just recently imported a '02 Nissan GTR from Malaysia. Wrench toys! The favourite will always remain the 'Porsche' of course.

Enjoy yours as long as you can mate
